A thrilling roller-coaster ride of a novel...Think James Bond with a Parisian twist' * Express *
A twisty and riveting thriller that seamlessly blends insider tradecraft and a doomsday plot with the realities of love, family, and friendship in the secret world.

One of the finest examples of the spy genre in recent memory. Suspenseful, masterfully plotted, and completely riveting. But what truly sets it apart from others in the field is its matchless authenticity, and the book's keen interest in its characters and the human cost of the worlds they inhabit. -- Nic Pizzolatto, author of GALVESTON and creator and writer of HBO's TRUE DETECTIVE
Beaumont reveals a world of international espionage that's at once exhilarating, morally repugnant, and deadly... An action-packed spy thriller with an authentic feel. * Kirkus Reviews *
With fascinating insights into the razor-sharp instincts of an international spy, The Frenchman is an intense and stylish thriller. Jack Beaumont offers a vivid portrait of Paris full of sly intrigue and covert activity. And the risks and tensions are ratcheted-up with every chapter. -- Timothy Schaffert
